I've been looking for a lathe and have considered PM1127VF-LB, PM1228, Grizzly G4003G and the PM 1236 which seems to have the most bang for the buck. I have been wearing Matt at QMT out with emails so I thought I'd ask here.
I see the listings for the preferred package and understand what it comes with overall though I still have a couple of questions.
Does this lathe use change gears, if so how many are supplied?
Is the chuck guard included?
I understand the coolant pump is in the right leg, is it accessible once the lathe is mounted? Could the leg easily be reversed so the pump would be accessible from the front? ( I probably will seldom use it and don't like a stinking coolant tank)
Finally whatever I end up with (and it looks like the PM1236) I intend to mount a hour meter that will time when the E-stop is out anyone have an ideal of what terminal to pick up either 11o or a control voltage?
Thanks for the replies.
